My Favorite Christmas Card

For some reason, taking a Christmas card photo with Eko just never seems to work out.

One year it looked like Santa was choking Eko. A hilarious photo, and a personal favorite, but not exactly Christmas card material

And last year we just couldn’t seem to pull off a good card either

So instead we used these cards for Eko’s reindeer application and other holiday needs

As a few people noticed, the cards are from Dog Mountain, one of the most incredible places I have ever visited.  The 150 acre plot in Vermont is artist Stephen Huneck’s tribute to our four legged friends.

I love both Huneck’s philosophy and his art.  That second statue from the right is my favorite

Inside the chapel Huneck built, visitors leave notes of thanks and love to their dogs.  It is a powerful tribute

Tragically, Stephen Huneck died in 2010 and his wife Gwen, who carried on his work, died just this past summer.  Stephen and Gwen leave a wonderful legacy that lives on at Dog Mountain.  If you ever find yourself in the Northeast, Dog Mountain is a must visit.

If you are looking for fun holiday cards, thank you cards or a number of other gifts, I highly recommend you check out Dog Mountain’s online store. They have a great selection of items that also happen to support a great cause.

All stocked up for any occasion
